Etymology of UNACCUSTOMS

The word "unaccustoms" is a derivative of the verb "accustom", which itself comes from the Middle English word "acustomen", which means "to make familiar with". "Acustomen" is a combination of the Old French word "acostumer" and the Latin word "consuetudinem", meaning "custom" or "habit". The addition of the prefix "un-" turns "accustom" into the negation of its meaning, indicating the opposite action, making someone or something unfamiliar or unaccustomed.
